I used mine for about 5 months Biggziff -- I think you will really like it as I know I did. And, I had ridden actual recumbent bicycles in the past also. So, I had some idea of the differences to expect from a DF upright compared to a recumbent.
It was quite sturdy, heavy, and well-made. I hope I get as good or better workout from my new Kreitler rollers now that I have those instead of a exercise bike or treadmill!
